I thought Silverstring played quite a bit softer, with less power and spin (but was still a very good string).

I've been trying to find something better than Tour Bite--or more specifically something that plays like Tour Bite but lasts a bit longer, but I haven't found anything yet.

Tell me about it...

I was out on the same quest - no success so far. Cyclone is not bad, but I do prefer Tour bite, it plays more solid IMO. Tour bite is probably my favorite co-poly right now, gotta buy another reel soon

The closest thing I got to Tour Bite 17 is Dunlop Black Widow 17. A bit less power, but pretty close in terms of spin and general feel.

Black Widow is I believe the 3rd softest poly on sale today behind Pro Hurricane 18 and Head Sonic Pro 17. When marketing it, Dunlop even said its softness negates the need for hybrids to make the stringbed more comfortable. Tour Bite, however, is pretty much always considered a stiff poly.

Well I got around to trying Tour Bite 17 again full bed 52/50. Shots started falling short compared to Black Widow 17 at the same tension, but was able to adjust easily. After the adjustment, I really didn't feel much difference between the 2, perhaps a bit more control with the TB.

However the next day, my elbow was sore @_@ Maybe time to try hybrid...

I'm using TB 18 in the mains with RIP 17 in the crosses. Great spin with good durability. I even tried it with Babolat Touch 17 in the crosses and it played great with decent durability, with added feel and touch. The 18 lasts forever. I have yet to break it before the crosses break.
